• Basics in videography - how to set up and operate camera and lighting gear
• Interview skills - how to structure interviews, presenting tips, helping guests feel safe on camera, researching your artists to come up with good questions

This workshop is part of Fairfield City Council's biggest Youth Week program, Bring It On! At the end of the workshops, you'll have the opportunity to help the Cheatcoders crew interview artists at our big event, the Bring It On! Youth Festival on Sunday 19 April 2026.
